I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.

I'm a very unhealthy person, and Montreal is very cold, and I'm usually sick when I'm there.

I love pop music, but I also love noise music, IDM - anything really, I get something out of most kinds of music. I just need to enjoy the process.

I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess.

I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.

If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.

I only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I'll black out the windows or something.
